Experiment code 19.5.3.34
Experiment Title Monitoring and assessment of soil pH, salinity, and soil chemical properties in agricultural land of Navsari district using remote sensing and GIS based machine learning technique
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background The availability of certain nutrients and micronutrients, especially phosphorus and as well as biological activity, are influenced by soil pH. The soil pH is affected by the initial soil parent material, category of plant cultivated, the climatic condition especially the volume of rainfall, and the soil age. Soil pH is an important variable as a quality indicator as it controls different biological and chemical processes happening in soil. Soil pH measures the acidity or alkalinity which is critical in managing cropping process since it controls the nutrient availability for the crop. Thus, the soil pH influences health of the crop and soil. Therefore, whenever we are thinking for agriculture we have to know about Soil pH. But, sampling, collection, and analysis are costly and labour-intensive activity that cannot cover the entire farmlands; hence, it was conceived to use high-speed open-source platforms. In this research to estimate soil characteristics remotely using high-resolution open-source satellite data.
